If Heptio can really deliver "at every price point", then this would be amazing. I just want to be able to deploy up a side project for free or very cheap, and seamlessly scale all the way up to thousands of dollars per month. Launching a side project on Heroku and AWS seems to cost a minimum of $69.00 per month. I typically need at least a hobby web and worker dyno ($7 each), Redis Micro for $5, and a Standard 0 Postgres database for $50. (Backups and continuous protection are important.) Actually, I just looked at AWS, and it's about the same price to get started. You could probably start with RDS instance on db.t2.small, for $26. And run your server and workers on a t2.medium server for $34. Maybe the only way to start from $0 is to use AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. But it would be really nice if Kubernetes was as easy to use as Heroku, and you could also start from $0 with a production-ready service.
